So I'm going to resurrect this thread. This has already been recommended, but I recently picked up a pair of OPPO PM-3 (planar magnetic/closed back) and paired it with my HA-2(SE) amp. Honestly this might be one of the best setups I've heard for less than $1k. To me, this is the clear over ear winner right now. My previous fav would have been the BW P7s.
As for IEMs, I'm currently into the Klipsch X20i which I have a slight preference over Shure SE535. I think the 535s are a little above $500 but I picked up the x20i for around $400.
